Viewing Alerts

The Alerts page provides the following information about each alert that has been generated on your network. View alerts by clicking the Alerts tab. The Alert Log panel shows any alerts associated with the folder or region selected in the navigation tree. The following information is displayed for each alert:

Status	Whether the alert has been acknowledged or not.
Severity	Displays the severity type of the alert.
Source	The server that generated the alert.
Name	The device that generated the alert. This field is empty for system alerts.
Folder	Displays the folder where the event occurred.
Timestamp	The date and time when the event occurred.
Description	Provides a brief description of the event.

When a new alert is generated, it appears in the Alerts tab and on the map. In the Alerts tab, the alert is listed in the Alert Log panel. In the Maps tab, the folder where the alert was generated is outlined in the color of the most severe alert at that folder. Acknowledging the alert will remove the colored indicator from the map

For information about configuring which events trigger an alert, see Creating and Configuring Alert Profiles.
